Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?

[–] small_crow@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.

[–] metiulekm@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Honestly I've unironically missed the entirety of the image at first, I went directly to the text. And probably a lot of internet-savvy people would, this kind of image is useless decoration 90% of the time and people are trained to not look at it. Same concept as in that research where they asked people to find the current population number on a webpage and they had a very hard time, despite the value being in big red digits or something equally distinctive.

xkcd readers remembering 8 billion comic id numbers:

You act like they have to pull it up with a number ID and don't already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.

Wow my dating pool is at maximum, while i have been single for last 4 years

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a "meth as a career" 36.

[–] Philolurker@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

[–] voidhearts@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the second time this week I’ve ever heard this phrase in my entire life. I feel like I know what it means but I’m afraid to ask

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn't get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.

[–] voidhearts@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohhhh. Oh. That was not what I was thinking at all. Lmao

[–] Butters@lemmywinks.com 10 points 1 year ago

I think you and I are thinking the same thing. Guess we don’t ride horses.

[–] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think it's more the riding gear than the horse. You'll get a rotten saddle pretty quick when the leather gets waterlogged and not taken care of.

Homeboy is HAGGARD for 36! That man is at least 65.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a 36 year old as seen by an 8 year old, which appears to be, as I suspected, the age of wikihow authors.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

LOL. Yeah. That dude in the picture took her age, added 7 years, doubled that and then lied about his own age.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Idk I'm 36 and this checks out

Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Thank god for that "/S"

These were originally labeled "56" and "17" because a Libertarian made the image.

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

42-year-old, here. Late-20s-hotties, give me a ring.

Whaddya mean, "what does ring mean?"

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They will not say “what does ring mean?” They’ll look you in the eye and shout “I don’t understand your dated cultural references old man!!”

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

"you know, dial me up..."

"...dial?"

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If both parties are 18 and above, it is none of our business. Many men are into cougars and many women like sugar daddies. Whatever floats their boat.

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Legally, yes. You can't and shouldn't prevent them from dating.

But, it's still creepy, it's usually still predatory, and there can be a huge power imbalance. Basically, the main thing is whether either person can easily leave at any time - often the younger one can't.

[–] LonelyWendigo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I don't know man. If at 50 I ran into a 20 something that was into dating me, I'd feel more like prey than a predator. But, who am I kidding? If the roles were reversed and I was a 20 something encountering a 50+ cougar, I'd still feel like prey. It's definitely all about power dynamics, but I don't think making assumptions about adult people's situations based on age alone is appropriate or helpful.

[–] corm@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

How is that any different than 18 year olds getting an apartment together and being too broke to easily move out if needed? And there are plenty of older people in the same boat financially. In fact most people live paycheck to paycheck.

I guess what you really mean is that poor people should only date other poor people, to make it a fair power balance. /s

And if you're 18, you can only date someone who is exactly 18. Can't go any lower or any higher.

Idk who told this to me, but what a weird contradiction. I guess it sorta makes sense.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:

y = 1/2 x + 7

then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.

At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.

Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you'd be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.

[–] Puffymumpkins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My favorite feature of the x/2+7 rule is that it implies you shouldn't be dating below the age of 14. Run any number lower than 14 through it to see what I mean. You can't reasonably say a 6 year old should only date people older than 10 and also younger than -2.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Don't you hate it when your 6 year old starts dating those people from the negative mirrorworld? No child of mine I say!

And a newborn should be dating nobody younger than seven, while also dating nobody older than yet to be born in 14 years 😛

[–] dos_user@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah 14 is fine. 6 year olds shouldn't be dating anyone anyway

I believe now if you are 18 you need to consult with a lawyer before dating.

Makes you wonder whether there is a dating rule "based on science".
